The use of traffic exchanges to increase web site traffic hasbeen gaining popularity lately. Many webmasters are finding theease of use, along with the free traffic too tempting to passup. With very little effort webmasters can direct hundreds ofvisitors per day to their site. However, there are little"tricks" that can be done to maximize the traffic while limitingthe time and effort spent working. While the followingtechniques are very simple to implement, there will be some workinvolved. Please be prepared to invest at least 30 minutes a dayto this effort at first, and you will notice the timerequirements will substantially decrease as time goes on, withit eventually reduced to zero!
Before we begin, I would like to first explain what a trafficexchange does and how it works. A traffic exchange allowswebmasters tons of free traffic by viewing other people's sites.It works on the basic function of"you-view-my-site-and-I-view-yours". To gain credits/visitors,the user has to view a particular site for a certain time limit.Although each exchange works on a similar basic concept, theactual workings, time limits, and ratios can vary somewhatbetween each one.
There are two types of traffic exchanges, manual exchanges andauto exchanges. Manual exchanges require the user to click on acertain link at the end of the set time limit in order to gaincredit. This is done to help ensure real people are viewing yoursite. Auto exchanges do not require a click to proceed to thenext site, as it automatically loads upon the timer reachingzero. Auto exchanges can have a greater number of "fake" viewsbecause the user does not have to actually view your site, ascredits can be aquired without the user present. This does notmean auto exchanges are without any merit however, as realpeople do use these, and I have personally generated many salesfrom auto traffic exchanges.
Perhaps the greatest draw of traffic exchanges is the fact thatyou can gain massive traffic using other people's work andeffort. Just about every exchange has a multi-tier typeaffiliate program that earns referring users a percentage oftheir downline's earned credits. This can be huge once you areable to build a sizeable group of webmasters under you. Thisstep will be the key to successfully getting the most out ofyour traffic exchanges and working as little as possible for ahuge amount of traffic.
***Just a side note. Most traffic exchanges are free, but offeran "upgrade" package usually at a nominal monthly fee. If yourefer users that upgrade, not only will you receive many creditsfrom their efforts, most exchanges offer a monthly recurringcommission for each referral. This is like icing on the cake;free traffic to your site AND a monthly residual income for thelife of your referral!
Let's get started. The first step is to find a handful oftraffic exchanges that appeal to you. A search for "trafficexchange" on any search engine will bring up more than enoughoptions for you to choose from. One traffic exchange that isessential to join is TrafficSwarm.com. This exchange provides you with verytargeted traffic, has a large user base, and allows you topromote up to 10 URLs at once for free. You will also want tochoose at least four or five more and sign up to each one. Onceyou sign up, you will receive a referral URL. This referral linkis what will help you build a large downline, and is critical toyour success in getting the most out of your traffic exchanges.Be sure to get your referral URL for each exchange you havesigned up for.
Many good traffic exchanges provide you a premade fast loadingsplash page with your referral link built into it. These splashpages are great, however they promote only one site. Your nextstep is to create a similar page promoting all of your trafficexchanges at once. For an example check out http://www.informativeresources.com/trafficexchange.htmPlease feel free to use this exact format as long as a link isplaced back to my sites' home page. Also be sure to replace allreferral links with your own. Please keep in mind the short time(usually 15 -30 seconds) a surfer has to actually view yoursite, therefore your page needs to load quickly and demandaction. Using a simple, easy to navigate page such as the onementioned above, that promotes all of your traffic exchangeswill ensure maximum referrals to your downline.
Once your page is complete, you will want to login to eachtraffic exchange and start promoting your URL. This is where thework starts, I recommend dedicating at least 30 minutes a daysurfing your exchanges and promoting your site. You will want tosurf all your exchanges at once to maximize your efforts. Aneasy way to do this is by using a tabbed browser such asFirefox, however I just open up separate windows for eachtraffic exchange, and just toggle between them all using(Alt+Tab). Following this method should yield you new members inat least one of your traffic exchanges daily.
Now, not everyone will be able to spend the time it requires tobuild a huge downline. However, there are some shortcuts toachieving a large downline without as much effort. If time is aconcern, you could always pay someone to click the exchanges foryou. You could also use only autoexchanges which would notrequire you to actually be there. However, what I wouldrecommend doing is, purchasing a downline. Guaranteed signupsare fairly priced and can produce good results. You can searchon any major search engine for guaranteed signups and get manygreat choices or you can go to http://www.informativeresources.com/wholesaleaccess.htmI do recommend USA only signups as International signups do notconvert as well. USA only signups may cost a little more,however it is well worth it.
Now this is where the fun begins. With the steady supply of newmembers joining yout programs, you should start to see anincrease in your sites' traffic. Perhaps even a few haveupgraded and now you are earning a monthly commission on theirefforts. Congratulations! Now we can take it to the next step.Many traffic exchanges allow you to email your downline. Sendeach one of your members a copy of this article, just be sure toleave all the links intact and to include the resource box atthe bottom of the page. Once they see how easy it is to create alarge downline, earning them alot of free traffic and even somecash, they will start to promote their referral links therebygiving you even more free traffic and commissions. Many trafficexchanges have affiliate traffic and commissions earned as manyas five or more levels deep! Your traffic and earning potentialis unlimited.
As you can now see, traffic exchanges provide a valuable serviceto webmasters across the globe. With every site needing qualityweb traffic, using free traffic exchanges correctly can providethousands of quality hits per month. As there is not an easieror more cost effective means of advertising, the trafficexchange industry will continue to grow in popularity andimportance for every web site owner in the years to come.
